clearing or removing as posible pixalation censorship

[admin]

It's impossible to remove pixellation unless you have the original unpixellated/censored footage. Pixellation is like reducing the resolution down to almost nothing and then blowing up the image - all the detail is already gone, so there is no way to undo it.

It depends on the level of pixelization: The smaller the censorship pixel is the better result you’d get.
If the level is, say – 2x2 pixel for each 1x1 pixel, than you can achieve good results using interpolation.

I never encountered pixelization this small, though.. and I wouldn’t bother trying if the censorship pixel size is greater than 5x5..

In any case – you would get a blurry image – never the same as the original.
Think of it as trying to resize a 50x50 image to 100x100, 200x200, or 2000x2000 – the bigger the resize is the more blur you have.

Do update us on the result..

Cheers.

OK.. so only now, after I submitted my reply, i bothered myself to read the entire thread, and i'm intrigued – I want to see the photo!

Where can I find it ?

going to all the trouble of trying to "mission Impossible a pix is just crazy. just goto a free site and stare at non pixilated material. the net is 90% porn after all. besides lifes too short for you to be doing all that work for a pix that probably isn't all that special.
